P5h Blog!

We have settled in well to Primary 5 and have been enjoying learning new things.

In literacy, we have been focusing on new spelling patters and coming up with new ways to practice. In writing we have been producing descriptive pieces based on our topic. Last week we wrote about the layers of the Earth! We can name and describe the crust, mantle, outer core and inner core.

In Numeracy we have been consolidating our knowledge of place value. We have been learning about 24 hour time in Maths.

We have been enjoying our new topic: Natural Disasters. We look forward to learning more about earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanoes.

We look forward to sharing our learning with you this year!

Primary 4hs Learn it! Log it! Blog it!

Last Monday we went to the Kelpies and Helix Park for our class trip.  We really enjoyed our day and we loved having our lunch outside and playing at the park.  Our favourite part of the day was when we got ice creams before coming home on the bus.

Last week we started our Health and Fitness 3 week block.  So far we have been learning about different types of healthy foods.  We have written some poetry with a health and wellbeing topic and today we have started to write a book review which we have to share with the class next week.

Last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday we had our transition days when we met our new teacher.  Our new P5 teacher is our current P4 teacher – Miss Henderson.  We are so excited to spend another year learning with Miss Henderson.  As we are staying in the same classroom we spent some time talking and planning about how we want our P5 classroom to look and what reward systems we would like in place.  We are so excited about moving up into Primary 5!

This week we have our annual Windyknowe’s Got Talent competition and Ready Steady Cook to look forward to and next week we have our P4 Sports Day.
